Killed Through Joy.

''Joy never kills" is an old saying,
often met with in the last pages of three
volume romances, but its truth has been
disproved in two instances in recent oc-
currence. One was that of an old negro
woman who, on being awarded a large
pension owing to her husband, died
under the shock of the announcement;
the other is also to be laid at the door of
the pension department, whose nctifca-
tion of the intended payment of several
thousand dollars TO disabled soldier in
this city caused the poor mans heart to
give such leap of happiness that a blood
vessel was burst, and death ensued.
These mishaps remind us of the words
of the poet Horace, familiar in our school
days, which warned his friends to keep
an even mind in the presence of great
sorrows and sudden joys alike Golden

Manufacture of Hairpins.

For years the English and French con-
trolled the manufacture of hairpins, and
it is only within the last twenty years
THAT the goods have been produced in
this country to any extent. The machinery
used is Of delicate and intricate char
acter, as the prices at which pins are sold
necessitate the most rapid and cheapest
process, which can only be procured by
automatic machines. The wire is made
expressly for the purpose and put up in
large coils, which are placed in a clamp,
which carries it to the machine while
Strengthening it; from there it runs in
another machine, which cuts, bends, and,
by a delicate and instantaneous process,
sharpens the points. Running at full
speed these machines will turn out 12O
hairpins every minute. To economize,
it is necessary to keep them working
night and day. The difficult part is the
enameling, which is done by dipping in
a preparation and baking in an oven.
Here is where the most constant and
careful attention is required, as the pin
must be perfectly smooth and the enamel
have a perfect polish. The slightest
particles of dust cause imperfections and
roughness, which are Objectionable -

There has recently been invented in
Paris a small press which will enable
blind people not only to print the raised
characters which they are able to read
with their fingers, but also the ordinary
characters on the same sheet of paper.
A system of writing for blind people
has, Of course, already been invented by
Braille, but it only permitted them to
communicate with each other, whereas
the new mechanicism enables them to
form letters which can be read by every
body. Henceforward, therefore, blind
persons will be able to communicate by
letter with their friends, without being
obliged to have recourse to the assistance
Of others.

A Novel AquarIum.

Mention has been made in the news
papers from time TO time Of the novel
aquarium that Mr.. Adolph Sutro iptended
to build out upon the ocean beach, near
the Cliff House. Those who have been
out 10 the Cliff House and have descended
the steps that lead to the beach,
will doubtless have noticed a little
cove sheltered between two high
rocks about 100 feet from the steps. In
this cove the aquarium is now being
built. The aquarium will consist of a
round wall of rock fifty feet in diane
ter, fifteen feet thick, and fourteen feet
high, and will be roofess. The flooring
will be made in a unique way, according
TO Mr.. Sutro's plans. Solid pathways of
rock will be built around the interior Of
the aquarium, and between them there
will be little ponds of water that will be
three and four feet at low water. The
water will come into these ponds from
the ocean with fish and other marine OBJ
jects in the following manner: A tunnel
800 feet long and eight feet high will be
bored through the rock between the
ocean and the aquarium, and at the sea
ward side of the tunnel there will be
wire-screen gates, which can be opened
and shut At high tide the gates will be
suffered to remain open, so that the
water and the living objects in it can
come freely into the aquarium. Athigh
water the whole Aquarium will be food

deep water in the ponds. When the
waters have receded sufficiently from the
pathways the public will be admitted in
side the walls. Sea anemones, devil fish,
angel fish, starfsh, crustaceans, shells,
all varieties of large and small fish, and
perhaps even occasional seals may be
caught in the aquarium, At low tide
there will always be something interest.

WrinkIed Age and Youth.

Age takes small account of the imme-
diate fight of time, says II. G. Banner,
in Scri5ner. To the young year is a
mighty span. BE it happy or an un-
happy year that youth looks forward to,
it is vista that stretches far into the
future. And when it is done, this in
terminabe year, and youth, just twelve
months older, looks back to the first of
it, what long way off it is. What tre-
mendous progress we have made. How
much more we know. How insufficient
are the standards by which we measured
the world poor 365 days back!
But age has grown habituated to the
fight of time. Years. We have seen so
many of them that they make no great
impression upon us. What is it ten years
since young Midas first came to the
counting-room, asking humbly for an
entry clerks place-he who is now the
head of the firm. Bless us it seems like
yesterday. Is it ten years since we first
put on that coat9 Why it must be clean
out of the fashion by this time.

An Extraordinary Recovery.

The lad Harris, who rode Richmond
in his races at Washington, is the young
man who was so badly injured at I,ato-
MIA last fall, when his horse fell while in
the lead in front of field of thirteen
horses, then got up and dragged the
senscless jockey after him for nearly a
furlong.
don't think the full facts of Harris's
marvellous escape have ever been printed,
hence paragraph will be interesting.
Harris was picked up for dead and his
body laid out and placed in a coffin. It
was kept for couple of days so as to
enable his wife and sister to attend the
funeral. The night on which they ar
rived they were taken to the coffin. For
some reason or other the attendant
touched the eyelid andtraised it. To
everybody's horror the cyl was seen to
move. Harris was taken out of the cof-
fin and soon gave more pronounced man
ifestations of life. When he recovered
consciousness entirely, however, it was
found that he was insane.
He was placed in an insane asylum.
where he remained for three months.
His reason returned as suddenly as it had
left him. But his memory is complete
blank for the three horrible months. All
he remembers is putting on the colors for
the race. After that he has forgotten
everything up to the time he regained
his mental faculties in the asylum =
